Jacqueline Caux’s docu samples the works and theories of modern classical composers, all leading proponents of the repetitive, trancelike minimalism often associated with Philip Glass. Gallic production is conceived as a testimonial to the helmer’s visionary late husband, musicologist/impresario Daniel Caux, but aside from sparse voiceover quotes from him and American composer John Cage (in badly accented French), it proposes no overview, allowing the artists to supply their own exposition with varying degrees of brio. Specialty item, which opened June 17 in Gotham, lacks the resonance of Frank Scheffer’s brilliant Elliott Carter study “A Labyrinth of Time,” but strikes no egregiously wrong notes.
